This is different from your classic wedge salad - it's taking that refreshing, crunchy slice of iceberg and dressing it with crispy chorizo, aioli and a blizzard of manchego.

Method

Begin with the aioli. Mix the egg yolks with the crushed garlic with the white wine vinegar and mustard. Gradually whisk in the olive oil until you have a thick sauce.

Slice the lettuce into quarters through the stem.

Slice the chorizo into small chunks and place it in a small frying pan. Turn up the heat slowly to render the fat - this should be plentiful and will be a bright crimson.

When the chorizo pieces are crispy, remove from the heat and drain the fat.

Drizzle the lettuce chunks with aioli and top with chorizo and a drizzle of the red cooking oil.

Grate the manchego over the top and serve,
